4/24

i have been searching for them
but they have not come up
:(
i had created a circle of stones
around them
so i could find them
among the daffodils...

i also cleared away the ivy
that grew around them
and threatened to smother them

there seems
to be a hole there now...
what kind of hole you might ask
well,
i think an enterprising rodent
took advantage of the softened soil
and made an entrance to their burrow
destroying my favorite plant
:(

what kind of rodent you might ask
well,
a dreaded r-a-t

since the pandemic began
they have strayed further afield
from their favorite food source: restaurants
(since they were closed for so long)
and have over run our backyards
:(

VERY
off putting
